ESC reactions to the FMC’s Study of the 2008 Repeal of the Liner Conference exemption from EU Competition Law

The European Shippers' Council has made an assessment of a report produced (16 February) by the US Federal Maritime Commission. The report reveals the study and conclusion into the impacts of the repeal of EU regulation 4056/86, the block exemption for liner shipping conferences from certain aspects of competition law.

The ESC assessment makes a critical assessment of the findings and concludes that others should follow the EU's lead, and remove exemptions for liner shipping.
